As an aside , as a nation we arenā€™t made for wearing shorts . We look ridiculous in the main . And thatā€™s before I even comment of Irish men .

The sun has gone to his head.

We had a chaps on earlier with burnt retinaā€¦ The Irish are just not made for the Sun it would appear.

I think thatā€™s well established. Look at the state of Aussies and the high incidence of melanoma. However there are a small subset of Irish from the western seaboard (like myself and yourself) that have the tanning genes. Itā€™s probably the combination of Turkish and Spanish, with minimal Viking, Norman or Anglo Saxon.

The myth of the black Irish ā€¦

Iā€™m sick of telling you that the first peoples on this island were dark in features. The later waves of invasions - 2nd celt invasion, viking, planter - were all pale. Us, the darkies, are the true Irishā€¦ you pasty, pale objects are foreigners.

If you have something to say you better spit it out.

You have a stalker.

Not to worry, from what iā€™ve seen iā€™m in far better shape than him.

Youā€™d hope so.
